Under 18s are children, not adults, and by the way should not be allowed to put their lives in danger in the Armed Forces until they are 18.

What miraculous change happens between one second before midnight on the day before their 18th birthday and one second after midnight on the day of their birthday that changes that person from a child to an adult?
(Speaking as one someone who joined up when I was 17)
The voting age was changed from 21 to 18 in 1969 - did "maturity" suddenly change overnight then?
